Chromeo

Chromeo takes the best of the 80's and puts it down for a fantastic album. There are 5 or 6 very good songs on this album. The dance versions aren't to great but the album is great none the less. Itunes Indie Electro Collection brought them to my attention with the song Mama's Boy and after checking out their album, I bought it and was very happy that I found out about these guys. Apparently they are pretty popular and just played here in DC recently. I can see why they are popular. They dont take themselves too seriously either which I can appreciate.

I really like this album. when i first heard it a few years back i wasent sure. well its well worth the money and time. great buy

yea, i never recieved my cd that i ordered. and now for some reason, i recieved the wrong CD from DOOLICITY
this is SOOOOOO WRONG

Ok... I first saw these guys live... and I couldn't believe that these guys were real! they're rockin! the music is so catchy and fun, not to mention the great lyrics.. you gotta love it.

I remember when I first heard this album...I was riding in the backseat of a car with all the windows rolled down along with some of my friends and we were trying to find free Wendy's Frosties in Columbus, Ohio. Listening to it on NYC's subway is also fun. It's an album for any situation really. My boyfriend played it so much at his architecture studio that people asked him to turn it off, but it's really that "good" (and I think most of the people who were mad at him went out and bought it secretly). Buy this album if you like fun(ny) music!

When I first heard this album I thought; if these dudes are take them selves seriously then this music is rubbish. Then I thought; does that even matter.....? Basically, I reckon this album is the kind of music you have to appreciate for what it is and nothing more than that.

It's retro, funky, definately electro, and definately pop... kind of funny... there are alot of well-grounded melodies and 80s sounds and arrangements. It's the kind of nostalgic pop the world has been waiting for. If the 80s have, or are, coming back around again Chromeo are at the top of the pile of interesting electro pop artists. It's kind of kitch, light hearted and enjoyable. it's a good album so buy it and see if you enjoy it.

i have yet to listen to it twice over, so i'm writing this review from first listen.

it's making me want to dance! as said in the other reviews he sings about dating, love, all that good stuff.

lots of funky grooves, catchy guitar riffs and some short solos i guess, synths! all the good stuff, to me anyway, from the 80's era which i still think was ahead of its time to this day!

if you have an open mind and enjoy music passionately, give this a listen, you might grow to love it.

just have one gripe about one review though which might be a little misleading?

"If you're one of those dark and brooding take-my-music-deathly-serious types you'll hate this. If you're a goofball, the sort of person who likes to have fun and dance around their house with their friends, you'll probably love this."

i'm that type of person but i don't hate this album. does it help i also do art along with playing instruments maybe?

Do you like Electro-Funk? Are you still hanging somehow in the 80s disco style, but need some refresh? This is your record! Maybe it is old fashioned, maybe it is nothing really new.... but it is great production. You feel the fun they had in the studio while recording....

Stumbled on to this group as I was flipping through the channels one early morning and saw the video for 'bonafide lovin' on MTV(it was so early in the morning that MTV was actually showing music videos). Anyhow, upon arriving at work I spent a little bit of time listening to what was available of theirs on the web and got addicted. This album appeals to my secret love of eighties synth while still sounding fresh. Great track list, great songs, and great combination of talent(Jewish PHD student and Arab CPA).
Give this one a preview before you actually purchase it because its not for everyone, but I love it and have actually turned some of my friends on to it as well.

As the title suggests, Fancy Footwork is a de-luxe dance album. ZAPPish synth-bass licks and robo-party beats drive a non-stop flow of songs about...yes...dancing. But Chromeo are men of class who like to mix it up, so there are also songs about partyin', songs about datin', and of course, songs about bein' Chromeo.

Old school Chromeo fans-turned-haters will tell you that Fancy Footwork is too studiofied, and while it's true that it doesn't have the warmth and variety of the first album, the slick production works well with the dance-party theme, and makes Chromeo's campy cool vocal delivery all the cooler. That said, the duo aren't too cool to be silly, as proven by the outrageous album cover art, dating advice delivered through talk-boxes, and the Supertramptastic keyboard intro to "Momma's Boy".

Along with the first Junior Senior album, the second Hyperbubble Album, and the third Freezepop album, Fancy Footwork is another great batch of tunes to take along on road trips, as every song's a winner, and the pace never drags. Put on your shades and let the pimptastic beats bump along...

While the 1st album was good, this 2nd is where it is @. Soo fun of a listen! Can not wait to hear the deluxe with the additional remixes. Wished i could have seen them @ Bonnaroo. Check out their vidz on youTube!
